Consummate design. New, young, modern and functional!
Ayam is already well on the way to becoming a classic.
Hand-crafted and mouth-blown in the company's glassworks in Kufstein, Austria, this crystal glass decanter is ideal for younger red and white wines.

This new decanter released for 2016 takes its name from the world's most exclusive and coveted breed of hen, indigenous to Indonesia. The elegant and impressive appearance of the Ayam hen inspired Maximilian J. Riedel, 11th generation CEO & president of Riedel Crystal, to create this groundbreaking and functional design. Committed to continuing his family's long and successful entrepreneurial tradition, he was keen to create something exceptional and entirely new to mark the family-owned company's 260th anniversary. With the Ayam decanter he has impressively risen to this challenge.

Maximilian J. Riedel the company's multiple international award winning designer, has once again set a new design standard.

This impressive decanter marries functionality with exceptional aesthetic appeal. The Ayam is a decanter with a duel decanter function, meaning the wine is aerated both when it is poured into and from the decanter, significantly reducing the time needed to "open up" the wine. The gurgling sound produced when wine poured into and from the decanter illustrates the intensity of the oxygenation process. The shape of the decanter is space saving and makes it easy to handle.

However, the real innovation lies in the design of the Ayam, which was created not only to stand on the table, but also to hang from it! Thanks to the Ayam's precise balance, achieved meticulously by hand. Once again Riedel has lived up to its reputation as a trailblazer.
